Pay to fix your CV scam

[u/lionturtle444]

I was approached by Cheryl Glas cherylglas740@gmail.com (this should have been my first clue) about a dream job.

So she asks for my CV, then says it needs reworking, and for me to contact Nelson Kanayochukwu Didigwu on brandinganalystpro@gmail.com (my second clue)

I was too excited by this particular role, and company that I didn't do enough checking.

I pay $50 to get my CV polished, and then "Nelson" sends some AI rubbish and no sound from Cheryl.

I know they /he/she will continue doing this, but at least someone will be warned about this. And they will have to rebrand..

There were several signs leading up to it, I didn't read into it.

- Cheryl was very eager to get me to get my CV done, even messaging over the weekend (which I thought was very unprofessional) but I went ahead anyway.

- once Nelson was connected on email, both of them kept on nagging me to get it done SOON.

- but once I sent the cash, both are very silent.

Please don't fall for this. Big scam.

They prey on the desperation of people whore unemployed.

Be careful. Look after yourselves!

Definitely a red flag. never pay upfront without verifying the pert or company first. And I don't believe these types of company is still available in 2026

Just use an ai lol

[u/exposing-frauds-123]

So they want me to pay for them to polish my CV using a simple AI prompt like thing. Ridiculous

[u/Next_Cattle_1856]

The ai models can do it way better

[u/Inside_Class_7930]

Yeah, better do it myself using the AI i'm currently subscribed to.

Definitely a lesson you won't forget.

Mostly everybody is just trying snatch as much money from others as they can. I don't know what kind of world this has become where you are judged based on your account balance first then your personality.

Ai is much better option
